CAP Leave From Work

[CFToaster]

Florida, like many other states, has a law on the books requiring employers to give CAP members time off for training and missions. (Text of the law [here](http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/index.cfm?mode=View%20Statutes&SubMenu=1&App_mode=Display_Statute&Search_String=civil+air+patrol&URL=0200-0299/0252/Sections/0252.55.html))

My employer has no policy allowing for CAP leave, and I'm being told that I need to use my banked time off for CAP activities. Does anyone's employer have a policy on CAP leave? Would you mind sharing it as an example for my employer?

The vast majority of us use our PTO.

Ask them if their advice holds in light of a copy of a statute.

If it does, decide on if the battle is worth your job.
